Requirements

Exam and project.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Learning outcomes

After the course, the student is expected to be able to - recognize different circuit parameter representations and calculate the parameters for simple circuits - relate scattering parameters to critical design parameters and describe operation of a component based on its scattering parameters - recognize common passive microwave components (power dividers, directional couplers, hybrids, filters) and describe their basic operation - calculate and select starting point values for operation at a given frequency - build a simulation model and analyze the simulation results to modify the design to meet the specifications - compare and analyze simulated and measured results - summarize the methods used and relevant results in a technical report

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. Microwave circuit theory. Impedance and admittance matrices, chain parameters (ABCD), scattering parameters, differential scattering parameters and wave-cascade matrix (WCM).     
2. Passive microwave components: power dividers, hybrids, and directional couplers.      
3. Microwave filters. Lumped-element filters (discrete components L, C) and distributed filters (transmission-line components).      
4. Project. Wilkinson power divider, direction coupler, branch-line hybrid, ring hybrid, OR filter. Design, implementation, measurement, and reporting.   Modern simulation software: CST Microwave Studio, AWR Microwave Office.   

Evaluation criteria for the course

The grade is determined by the exam. The textbook (Pozar: Microwave Engineering) may be taken to the exam. Successful completion of the project work is required to pass the course. Excellent project work increases the grade by one. Pass, Fail, Increase of grade are determined by a peer-review process where students evaluate the project work and make the decision.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course

Partial passing:

Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Prerequisites

Course Mandatory/Advisable Description
ELE-6106 Basic RF measurements Mandatory    

Additional information about prerequisites
The student should be familiar with transmission lines and basic RF measurements (vector network analyzer) as well as prototyping (manufacturing simple PCB designs). The student is expected to be able to carry out laboratory work (manufacturing, measuring) independently.
